Brinkley: Kerry Faces Questions about Senate Hit Plot

What did Sen. John Kerry know and when did he know it about a plot to assassinate pro-Vietnam war U.S. Senators hatched at a November 1971 Kansas City meeting of the group Vietnam Veterans Against America?

According to presidential biographer Douglas Brinkley, that's the question Sen. Kerry needs to answer. If it turns out that the likely Democratic presidential nominee knew of the treasonous plan, Brinkley says he had an obligation to go to the authorities.

"The question is: did Kerry quit [VVAW] before Kansas City or did he quit after Kansas City," Brinkley told WABC Radio's Steve Malzberg. "If he quit after Kansas City, that means he clearly knew about this assassination plot against the Senators and never went to the authorities."

Kerry says he submitted his official letter of resignation to the VVAW just days before the critical Kansas City confab. But two Vietnam veterans who attended the session told the New York Sun on Friday that they remember Kerry was there.

Meanwhile copies of Kerry's resignation letter are nowhere to be found.

Brinkley, whose book "Tour of Duty" chronicles Kerry's Vietnam war exploits, said that the former Navy Lieutenant had an obligation to warn authorities about the frightening plan, telling Malzberg, "Clearly his critics would say, if he had known about it why didn't he report it."

Once put to a vote, the death plot went down to defeat, with Kerry voting in the majority, according to the two witnesses who say he was there.

However, Kerry officials in Florida have recently invited the assassination plan's author, Scott Camil, to join the Senator's campaign, the Sun report claimed.

Brinkley described Camil as "a hothead Vietnam vet who wanted to bring down the U.S. government."

"I'm a little shocked that the Kerry campaign would want him actively working with them in Florida," he told Malzberg.

"Kerry Lied In Press Conference Where He Refused To Apologize For Calling Republicans Liars"


I think JFKerry knew this article was in the works when he uttered those words. I also believe that he wanted those words heard, because he has been claiming for months about how Republican i.e. the "intern" story were lies and attacks.

I also believe because of what some of his "staffers" have said that they are monitoring this site as well as others and by complaining about Internet and Republicans "generically" he does not give publicity to where the so called "lies" come from.

"I think Hon was referring to the book "Winter Soldiers."

Woops! My bad. Sorry.

Wintersoldiers.com may eventually have it posted though.

Tnx for the info!

Will this little bug grow feet?

I hope so. But he's a DemocRAT, so I doubt.
G-r-r-r-r-r !!

Scott Camil, the assassin wanna-be is a PERFECT Democrat and a PERFECT fit for the Kerry campaign. Kerry is a meaner mother than Bill Clinton....and just as mean as Hillary!

Hale Boggs died in a plane crash I believe. MAYBE Arkancide was alive and well BEFORE the Clintons came on board.

Doug:

Did you call in to Laura Ingraham this morning? I caught just the last part of the conversation about the assasination plot. From the little bit I heard, it didn't sound like she thought you were wacked out.

[doug from upland]

Yes, I called her this morning. I hope she doesn't think I was whacked out. I've called her before.

[devolve]

You are correct.

I used notes from my email from my cousin in New York state.

Somehow I misread my own hurried writing.

Thanks I used your corrections in the emails I sent out on this old dusty story.

I wonder how far this will go and if the media will bury it.

More names seem to be popping up every day.

Now photos of the Gaineville 8 are on the threads.

How many of them can John Kerry put on his campaign staff?
